How is this going to make the NFL look bad?
This isn't a behind the scenes secret story that has finally broke to the public.. This stuff has been news and it came and went...

We already know how the story ends... The NFL pushes back and then finally gives the "We'll look into it..." response and starts funding research and programs to help players with these conditions.

In the end it will be a redemption story for the NFL and they'll look like heroes....

You'll see:sas2:

:snoop: Not sure why this has to be explained. The movie doesn't just focus around the concussion issue. That is the backdrop. It focuses around the mafia level intimidation used by by the NFL to discredit a prominent doctor.

THAT is what people don't know about. Everyone thinks this concussion issue is a 50/50 thing and most people think the retirees are money grabbers.

I'm at the movies right now. Taking my mom and little sister to watch Spectre. This trailer came on. You should've seen my mom's face when I told her Will's accent was supposed to be Nigerian :russ:. That accent is appalling :mjlol:

Just got back from the premiere. Movie was pretty good.:leon: Will did his thing.:ehh: They didn't really go in all the way on the NFL, definitely felt like they pulled some punches. LOL at Luke Wilson as Goodell.:russ:

Wilson is GAWDell lol.

What are the rules on using copyrights, and are they different for trailers? All the Heinz Field signage was obscured as well as the Steelers logos in the spot I saw. But then you have a clear NFL logo behind Goodell at the safety conference. Interesting.

I'll watch this for "tell de truth", but the NFL has already gotten through the worst of the criticism on CTE and it can't be denied they're taking it very seriously. Players are always gonna go after that check and fans will always go to see combat. Increasing prices are more detrimental to the league at the moment, I believe.
